CRESTVIEW — This weekend, area cancer survivors, family members and caregivers can attend 21st Century Oncology's National Cancer Survivors Day Hoedown.
The country-themed celebration, to take place at the Redstone Avenue office, will include free food, music, games, entertainment and cancer information, event organizer Roly Alvarez said. Free barbecued pulled pork sandwiches will be available and there will be children's bingo, music and a disc jockey.
"We hope to get people dancing," he said.
This event allows survivors to celebrate with loved ones and caregivers who helped them every step of the way, Alvarez said. Each survivor will receive a free event T-shirt.
"This is not just for our patients, (but) all cancer survivors are welcome," he said. "This is a celebration of life."
Attendees can tour the facility and view paintings created by cancer survivors, and oncologists will be available to answer questions about cancer treatments, Alvarez said.
